|---|---|
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | Following completion of the Form 990 by the Foundation's tax preparer, the Administrator and accountants review the return. Upon acceptance, the Administrator mails a paper copy of the final return (or an electronic version for those with e-mail) to all Officers and Members of the Board of Directors for their review and questions. Subsequently, the return is filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The Conflict of Interest Policy applies to all applications for financial aid and assistance, all staffing matters, and all other actions by any Officer or the Board of Directors of the Foundation and applies to all activities in which the Foundation is currently engaged or in any way may be engaged at any time in the future. The Policy provides that a conflict of interest may exist when the interests or concerns of any Member of the Board of Directors, an Officer, any member of the staff serving the Foundation, or said person's immediate family, or any party, group or organization to which said person has allegiance, may be seen as competing with the interests or concerns of the Foundation. When a conflict is disclosed and is relevant to a matter requiring action by the Board of Directors, the interested party must call the conflict to the attention of the Board and shall not vote on the matter. In face-to-face meetings, any person having a conflict will retire from the room and shall not participate in final deliberations or decisions regarding the matter under consideration. The person will provide the Board of Directors with any and all relevant information. The Officers and Board of Directors review the Policy no less than annually to determine the need for revision. A copy of the Policy is provided to each Officer, Member of the Board of Directors and each staff member serving the Foundation or who may become associated with it at the time of their association. The Policy is reviewed no less than annually for the information and guidance of all such persons. Any new Officer, Member of the Board of Directors, and new staff member is advised of the Policy upon undertaking the duties of their position. Each person annually signs a statement affirming: receipt of a copy of the Policy; his/her understanding of the Policy; agreement to comply with the Policy; and verification that he/she has disclosed any potential conflicts of interest. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | In accordance with the Organization's Bylaws, there is no compensation paid to Officers or Directors. In 2014, the Board of Directors reaffirmed its policy that authorizes reimbursement of expenses incurred by Directors and Officers whose duties require their attendance at Board of Directors meetings or such other events where they serve as representatives of or travel on business for the Foundation. This method of reimbursement is the only form of 'compensation' paid. The Foundation does not employ any personnel. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) provides the services of an Administrator on a part-time basis to the Foundation. The Foundation reimbursed the DAV $29,920 in 2014 for those services. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | Governing documents and the Conflict of Interest Policy are available upon request. The annual report and most recent Form 990 are accessible from the Foundation's website, www.nsf.dav.org, and also upon request or for public inspection at the Foundation's Administrative Office: 3725 Alexandria Pike, Cold Spring, KY 41076. |
